Link turns purple, but answer is not correct. What am I doing wrong?

The instructions say:

"We want to add an exception for <a> tags that are are in the <div> with a class of .footer: those links should be purple. Use the post-selector ampersand to achieve this."

My code: 

p {
    a {
    color: red;
  }
  > a {
    color: blue;
    &:hover {
        opacity: 0.5;
    }
  }
}

a {
    .footer & {
    color: purple;
  }
}

The link is turning purple, and I'm using the post-selector ampersand, yet it's marked as incorrect. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong... Any ideas?

I figured it out... Although the code worked just fine before, it wanted me to change .footer to div.footer
